Mother's Day Gift

For my mother-in-law and my sister-in-laws for Mother's day, I dipped oreos in chocolate and made some frosting flowers to put on top. I then put them in a tin to make it cute. My sister made the labels for the tins.

These are what the oreos looked like. These aren't the ones I made because I forgot to get a picture, but these are the ones I got the idea from.

Rapunzel Cake

I just realized I never posted this cake.

I made a Rapunzel cake for a friend's daughter's birthday. The figurine of Rapunzel is just that, a figurine. The border on the bottom of the cake is rock candy. The bottom layer of cake is chocolate with strawberry filling and the top layer of cake is strawberry with strawberry filling.

Princess Party

My daughter had her 4th birthday party and requested a princess party.

Princess cupcakes in two flavors: Chocolate and Coconut. Both had Coconut Cream Cheese icing on top.

This cake was very frustrating. It was small and should have been super simple, but it was just frustrating. I now know to put my thermostat at like 50 degrees if I am decorating a cake! Despite being lopsided due to melting, this cake tasted superb!

This is a coconut cake with coconut cream cheese icing with a raspberry filling. I seriously loved how this cake tasted.

Mother's Day 2011

I could not get a good picture of this cake for some reason. Most of them turned out very blurry.
Anyways, this cake was fun to make.

I made a dark chocolate cake from scratch with Dark Chocolate Ganache and Raspberry filling with Vanilla Buttercream icing. Delicious!
This cake is covered in fondant but all the decorations are buttercream icing. I had a lot of icing issues with this cake, so the lines are pretty rough, but oh well. I now know to turn my AC on to freezing cold when decorating a cake! :)
